Sydney Whipper-Snipper Massacre

The Sydney version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in which a poor Campbelltown hobo decided to blame the world for all his problems. Being a hobo he could not afford a chainsaw and had to settle for a whipper-snipper from the local dump. He then proceeded to kill every plant in his vicinity. It was a dark day indeed for all vegetarians, gardeners and general plant life. Its rumoured he attacked plants because not only did he have to resort to a whipper-snipper, the object itself was of typical campbelltown quality and therefore wasn't sufficient enough to cause injuries to humans.
"They should make a film about The Sydney Whipper-Snipper Massacre."

whipper-snipper 

A snippet is a brief quotable passage. People who think in snippets are called 'whipper-snippers.'

Women have a greater propensity to hear snippets and deduce from them because they have conversational skills that men don't have and men tend to internalize and think about things differently.
While driving in a car:

Man: Oh! There's that trading firm. I made millions off of them.

Woman: Williams!? What is that!? Williams!? Williams!? What is that!?!

Man: Williams!? What is Williams!? I said millions, 'whipper-snipper.' Where do you get 'williams' from 'millions' talking about a trading firm!?
